This appliance must be grounded. This oven is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall
receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. In
the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only
the oven be provided. Using a high voltage is
dangerous and may result in a fire or other accident
causing oven damage.
WARNING Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock.
Note
1.
If you have any questions about the grounding or
electrical instructions, consult a qualified
electrician or service person.
2.
Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can
accept any liability for damage to the oven or
personal injury resulting from failure to observe
the electrical connection procedures.
The wires in this cable main are colored in
accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow = EARTH
Blue = NEUTRAL
Brown = LIVE

eliminated by taking the following measures:
1.
Clean door and sealing surface of the oven.
2.
Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or
television.
3.
Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the
receiver.
4.
Move the microwave oven away from the
receiver.
5.
Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet
so that microwave oven and receiver are on
different branch circuits.
When using electrical appliance basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric
shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to
excessive microwave energy:
1.

The contents of feeding bottles and baby jars
should be stirred or shaken and the temperature
should be checked before serving in order to
avoid burns.
14.
Cooking utensils may become hot because of
heat transferred from the heated food.
Potholders may be needed to handle the utensil.
15.
Utensils should be checked to ensure that they
are suitable for use in microwave oven.
16.
WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than
a trained person to carry out any service or
repair operation which involves the removal of
any cover which gives protection against
exposure to microwave energy.

This product is a Group 2 Class B ISM
equipment. The definition of Group 2 which
contains all ISM (Industrial, Scientific and
Medical) equipment in which radio-frequency
energy is intentionally generated and/or used in
the form of electromagnetic radiation for the
treatment of material, and spark erosion
equipment. For Class B equipment is
equipment suitable for use in domestic
establishments and in establishments directly
connected to a low voltage power supply network
which supplies buildings used for domestic
purpose.
18.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
19.
Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
1.
Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas
towards outside of dish.
2.
Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest
amount of time indicated and add more as
needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke
or ignite.
3.
Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent
spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
4.
Turn foods over once during micro waving to
speed cooking of such foods as chicken and
hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be

1.
The ideal material for a microwave utensil is
transparent to microwave, it allows energy to
pass through the container and heat the food.
2.
Microwave can not penetrate metal, so metal
utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be
used.
3.
Do not use recycled paper products when
microwave cooking, as they may contain small
metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or
fires.
4.
Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong
ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to
overcook.
5.
Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to
prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be
careful don’t use too much and keep a distance
of 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.
The list below is a general guide to help you select
the correct utensils.

1.
Turn off the oven and remove the power plug from the wall socket before cleaning.
2.
Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls,
wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Avoid the use of
spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
3.
The outside surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating
parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
4.
Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals and adjacent parts frequently with a
damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Do not use abrasive cleaner.
